In ''Super Mario World'', Monty Moles are first encountered in the level [[Yoshi's Island 2]]. They pop out of random spots in the ground to surprise [[Mario]] or [[Luigi]] and will then chase after him persistently or walk and hop occasionally. The game also features [[Mega Mole]]s, giant Monty Moles that Mario can actually ride on to get across obstacles, but can still be hit by one. Monty Moles can be defeated by any attack method. In one artwork, they appear to be wearing sunglasses as well as having a short, gopher-like nose. However, in another artwork, they have visible, squinting eyes and long, mole-like noses. This game's graphics seem to depict the latter, though the jumping sprite depicts a slight split in the lip; further games typically used either one of these artworks as a design up until the redesign in ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]''.
In [[List of Super Mario World pre-release and unused content|development builds]] of the game, Monty Moles had slightly different digging sprites from those in the final game.

Monty Moles appear in the [[Hazy Maze Cave]] and on [[Tall, Tall Mountain]] in ''[[Super Mario 64]]'' and ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]''. In the cave, Monty Moles specifically reside in the toxic maze, though they remain outside the [[toxic cloud]]. Monty Moles in this game act similarly to [[Rocky Wrench]]es, albeit throwing rocks instead of wrenches before disappearing underground. If Mario, [[Yoshi]], Luigi, or [[Wario]] can defeat a certain number of Monty Moles in the game, a 1-Up Mushroom appears for him to collect.
The ''[[Nintendo Power]]'' guidebook also says that the Monty Moles in the Hazy Maze Cave are a Monty Mole family and the ones on Tall, Tall Mountain are considered their friends.<ref>Super Mario 64 Official Player's Guide [https://archive.org/details/SuperMario64OfficialPlayersGuide/page/n61/mode/2up?q=Mole page 61] and [https://archive.org/details/SuperMario64OfficialPlayersGuide/page/n101/mode/2up?q=Mole page 101]
In the original game, Monty Moles use their squinting design from ''Super Mario World'' but with an added pair of pronounced teeth, a black nose, and somewhat larger limbs. In the remake, they receive a redesign that consolidates the two designs from the ''Super Mario World'' artworks, with a small amount of influence from the ''Super Mario 64'' and ''Super Mario Sunshine'' designs. From the "sunglasses" artwork, they get the smooth, cheek-less head sides, white upper lip, and small nose; from the other ''Super Mario World'' artwork, they get the distinct squint; from the ''Super Mario 64'' design, they get the visible teeth, though the number is reduced to one; and from the ''Super Mario Sunshine'' design, they get the wideness of the upper lip. This design would become the standard design for later games, though there has been variation on the color of the lower lip, with brown appearing most consistently.
